Bartolic Law has helped many clients suffering from Migraines get paid long-term disability insurance benefits. In one client’s case, we helped the client create detailed documentation of the client’s daily symptoms and how light exacerbated the client’s symptoms, preventing the client from spending any time on a computer.
We also got witness observations to describe the client when the client experienced symptoms. This helped avoid the insurer asserting the symptoms were merely subjective and self-reported. In another matter, we helped a partner of an accounting firm recover benefits due to Chronic Migraines by creating a detailed journal of frequency and intensity of the Migraines’ onset and the specific activities the client was able to do and not able to do during the onset.
Migraine headaches are recurring and can cause severe throbbing pain, light and sound sensitivity, and other symptoms for sufferers. There are many different causes of migraines, and many people are unable to avoid all possible triggers at all times. Migraines can begin when you least expect them, and they can be debilitating for hours or days.
Treatment for migraines can range from lifestyle changes to medication. Treatment-resistant Migraine patients often get prescribed Botox to treat chronic Migraine. In order to qualify to receive Botox treatment for Migraine, patients must have 15 or more days per month with headaches lasting 4 more hours each. By the time your Migraine is treated with Botox, it establishes how frequently you experience the onset and that it interferes with enough of a workday to potentially prevent working. However, when a migraine comes on, most people must stop whatever they are doing – including working – to rest in a dark, cool place for hours at a time. Chronic migraines can make it difficult to work.
